Hello. I am 12 and from the Netherlands, so still learning English. For that reason, I prefer speaking Latin or Dutch. However, I will not delete English messages if it's something interesting. I am learning pi (3,14159...), no more than 95 decimals yet, but still. Write something on my forum if you have done that, too. Could result in a nice discussion. I like chess problems, especially the ones like those from Sam Loyd. Feel free to post one.
FAVORITE OPENINGS
For White:
Evans gambit, King's gambit, and every other 1. e4 e5 opening.
For Black: Traxler!!!
FAVORITE PLAYERS
1. Morphy
2. Capablanca
3. Alekhine
4. Fischer
5. Lasker, Bronstein, Anderssen, Steinitz, Keres, ...
For my favorite games: see my game collections.
My favorite game played by myself: http://www.playtheimmortalgame.com/...
I like listening to music like http://youtube.com/watch?v=5WD3DncR..., http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=r_WER..., Duel of the Fates and so on.

PLEASE KEEP CORRECTING MY ENGLISH MISTAKES!! I am still learning. Thanks.

Dec-28-07 de Riviere vs P Journoud, 1860

Rubenus: Just a question: What about 12. ... e3 13. fxe3 d3? Closing the e-line removes the most immediate threat, I think, and black stays a pawn ahead.

Dec-18-07 Marshall vs Von Scheve, 1904

Rubenus: <playground player> You don't know you're mortal until you're dead :).

Rubenus: My dad and I played an interesting game today. He isn't that good, I estimate about 1300 rating (although he is better if he is serious :)) but I am not that good either. After some 20 moves we arrived at the following position (I made it from black's perspective, for I was black, ...

Nov-18-07 D Danlag vs R Schmaltz, 2001

Rubenus: No, not really. But why would someone suddenly stop playing there (has he been banned?)?

Oct-21-07 A Mauro vs S Jablon, 2001

Rubenus: <ArturoRivera> In my opinion, ++ should be reserved for double check and # for checkmate. I see cg.com has corrected it.

Oct-11-07 A Adly vs H Melkumyan, 2007

Rubenus: You mean black?

Sep-24-07 S Niemzowitsch vs NN, 1899

Rubenus: It was part 5.

Sep-05-07 V Kahn vs C Hartlaub, 1916

Rubenus: <Benzol> No, it was Genghis. :)

Sep-05-07 Anderssen vs Kieseritzky, 1851
